Notable projects include a large-scale battery installation in Stanton, Orange County, which integrates 68.8 megawatts/275.2 megawatt-hours for W Power and Wellhead Electric, marking it as one of the largest in Southern California (source: energyvault.com). Furthermore, Energy Vault has secured a transformative 400 megawatt-hour project with ACEN Renewables at their New England solar farm in New South Wales, Australia, which is touted as the largest in the country (source: energyvault.com). This project exemplifies the company's capability to deploy its gravity storage technology at scale.
Recent Developments
In recent months, Energy Vault has announced significant developments, particularly in Australia. In May 2024, the company revealed its first project in Australia, a 400 megawatt-hour initiative with ACEN Renewables, followed by a commitment to a full gigawatt-hour project, indicating a rapid expansion in the region (source: energyvault.com). The partnership with the State Electricity Commission (SEC) to build and operate a 100 MW/200 MWh battery project further validates Energy Vault's innovative technology and positions it as a leader in the energy storage market (source: energyvault.com). These developments not only enhance the company's project portfolio but also reflect growing investor confidence in its capabilities.
